Reading through this endearing book just once can make you realize why it has become popular enough to translate from Japanese to English. I have enjoyed reading it to the kids many times...and it is probably due back at the library soon.
The main character is a young girl named Kikko, a spin off of the author's name and also one that Lance loves to shout..."Kikko!" When she realizes that her father has just left for her grandmother's house and forgets to take a pie, Kikko wants to remedy the situation by taking it herself. Along the way she comes across a friendly lamb.
"Are you here for the tea party?" asked a kind voice.
And what a party it was! Kikko beamed as she sat at the head of the table answering questions and becoming much braver. But what about the pie box that was crushed on her journey? Will they be able to help her with that? Grab yourself a slice of pie and a hot cup of tea as you enjoy this wondrous expedition that Kikko has set out on.
